We Grow Our OwnThe trials and successes of life on our allotment

Today was time for some long overdue weeding at the allotment, but since it was a Bank Holiday, I had to do what everyone seems to do on a Bank Holiday and do some DIY … lottie style

Since we are allowed to get chooks soon, we thought it would be a good idea to clear as large a space for them as possible. We moved the greenhouse to a more sensible place, and cut down all the nettles, brambles and nasties behind it, and put down black polythene to kill the rest.

If everything goes ok next week, then it will be stage one of building the chicken palace! Then it will be ready for when the The British Hen Welfare Trust (formerly the Battery Hen Welfare Trust) let us know that we have some hens to pick up … can’t wait!
